Attic- La Rambla
It doesn’t get much more central than La Rambla, but the area itself can be a real headache for people looking for somewhere special on the never-ending strip of over-priced restaurants and bars. The Attic restaurant offers modern, well presented cuisine in one of the best people-watching spots in town. The relaxing terrace, perched directly above La Rambla, offers the best views of the hustle and bustle of the street activity below.
